Hi all,

I have three Asterisk/Freepbx servers that I'm trying monitor with Fop2

I'm not using the automated scrips as there are only 14 users across the whole system but they are spread across the country (Australia)

My major issues is that call pickup from a queue for non agents does not work from remote sites
From a debug session it appears that fop2 is trying to pick up the right channel on the wrong server and therefore
failing. I've updated to the latest beta release since and now transfer to external / cell phone numbers is broken.

Also the remote server button status is either slow or fails to update extension status particularly ringing. Refreshing the browser helps but is not really a solution.

Can anyone shed any light on these issues please?

sample button config for extension

Thanks for the prompt response Nicolas,

I have installed the 2.21 beta and now the transfer to Mobile button that use to work results in the call being disconnected.

I'll stick with 2.21 since the feature I most need is in that version.

I was wondering if I needed to set
originatechannel and or queuecontext for things to work properly particulary with the extensions on remote servers?

I'm using Freepbx 2.8.1.4

Now to implement the suggestions and I'll post the results.

Thanks again

Kevin

Because I have three servers that I want to display in one instance of FOP2 I'm not using the the FreePbx plug in to do
the configuration. I'm just using a buttonfile and have the users defined in fop2.cfg.

I have the external numbers defined as external=xxxxxxx in each button definition the xxxxx being the users mobile number
once dialed each server routes the specific mobile number to a gsm gateway.

I'll set up the Originate channel and advise what happens.

Cheers

Kevin

remote call pickup still doesn't work on 2.21 as it still tries to use the wrong server

Transfer to external fails apparently due to no value as the extension to redirect to

Please advise if there is any more information that would be useful?

I'm going to go back to 2.20 to see if transfer to mobiles works again.

Thanks for the rapid response,

As long as the server numbering starts at 0 I am see sample extract from configs
There is a vpn connection between all three servers thus the local addressing

I will do,

At the moment I've gone back to 2.20 and transfer to external numbers works again.

I've been trying to pickup calls directly from a queue as the queue status updates much faster than the remote extensions
in fact some never show ringing as the call is answered before the update occurs.

Indeed the remote site that really needs the call pickup normally would not have any phones in the queue to ring thus
no ringing phone to pick up.

I will change this for the purpose of the test though.

Cheers

Kevin
